Description: Computing has permeated and transformed almost
all aspects of modern life. As computing becomes more important
in all sectors of society, so does the preparation of a globally
competitive U.S. workforce able to apply core computing concepts,
methods, technologies, and tools - referred to here as Computational
Thinking (CT) - to a broad range of societal challenges and opportunities.
CT capitalizes on concepts, methods, technologies, and tools fundamental
to the fields of computing, i.e. computer and information science
and engineering. For example, computing concepts and methods equip
us to reason at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously, to
think algorithmically and apply foundational mathematical concepts
to solve complex problems, and to understand the dimensions and
consequences of scale. However, it is only when computing concepts
and methods are combined with the power of automation afforded by
contemporary computing technologies and tools that the full potential
of CT is unleashed. Drawing deeply on computational concepts, methods,
technologies and tools, CT serves as a powerful strategy to more
effectively design, understand and solve problems associated with
complex systems in many aspects of modern life. The CISE Pathways
to Revitalized Undergraduate Education in Computing (CPATH) program
recognizes the growing importance of CT in society. The goals of
the program are to:contribute to the development of a globally competitive
U.S. workforce with CT competencies essential to U.S. leadership
in the global innovation enterprise;increase the number of students
developing CT competencies by infusing CT learning opportunities
into undergraduate education in the core computing fields - computer
and information science and engineering, and in other fields of
study; and,demonstrate transformative CT-focused undergraduate education
models that are replicable across a variety of institutions.Through
the CPATH program, CISE challenges the academic community to identify
and define the core computing concepts, methods, technologies and
tools to be integrated into promising new undergraduate education
models, and to demonstrate effective strategies to develop and assess
CT competencies in the relevant learning communities. While aimed
primarily at revitalizing undergraduate education, CISE encourages
the exploration of new models that extend from institutions of higher
education into the K-12 environment; activities that engage K-12
teachers and students to facilitate the seamless transition of secondary
students into CT-focused undergraduate programs are particularly
encouraged. Successful CPATH proposals will include administrators,
researchers, educators and students in institutions of higher education.
Further, the engagement of stakeholders in other types of organizations
including, but not limited to, K-12 schools and school districts,
industry, and professional societies is also encouraged. Every CPATH
proposal must demonstrate the engagement of faculty with expertise
in the core computer and information science and engineering (CISE)
disciplines. The CPATH program seeks proposals in two size classes:
Class I projects with project budgets totaling no more than $300,000
for 1-, 2- or 3-year durations; and, Class II projects with project
budgets totaling no more than $800,000 each for 2- or 3-year durations.

Number: 09-502 Title: Major Research Instrumentation Program Brief
Description: The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI)
serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments
for research and research training in our Nation's institutions
of higher education, museums and science centers, and non-profit
organizations. This program especially seeks to improve the quality
and expand the scope of research and research training in science
and engineering, by providing shared instrumentation that fosters
the integration of research and education in research-intensive
learning environments. Development and acquisition of research instrumentation
for shared inter- and/or intra-organization use is encouraged, as
are development efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector
partners as appropriate for the goals of the MRI Program. To accomplish
these goals, the MRI program assists with the acquisition or development
of shared research instrumentation that is, in general, too costly
and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. For
the purposes of the MRI Program, proposals must be for either acquisition
or development. Instruments are expected to be operational for regular
research use by the end of the award period. A key recommendation
of a 2006 National Academies report on “Advanced Research
Instrumentation and Facilities” (ARIF) was that the NSF
should expand the MRI program so that it includes “mid-scale”
instrumentation whose capital costs are greater than $2 million,
but with costs that are not appropriate for NSF’s Major
Research Equipment and Facilities Construction account. The MRI
program now accepts proposals requesting over $2 million in NSF
support (to the maximum request of $4 million) for the acquisition
of a single instrument. For proposals requesting $2 million or less,
investigators may seek support for instrument development or for
acquisition of a single instrument, a large system of instruments,
or multiple instruments that share a common or specific research
focus. Proposed Funding: $115,000,000 Estimated Number of Awards: 235 Agency

Description: The Affordable Sensor Technology Development (ASTD)
Program is an effort to develop advanced, revolutionary and innovative
radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter wave sensor technologies
addressing space based, airborne, Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) and
ground based applications. Emerging electronically scanned apertures,
including the digitization of the microwave signals, will permit
an order of magnitude increase in sensor performance. Future space
based and ground based sensing platforms require large, affordable
phased arrays. To field these practical weapon systems, reductions
are sought in the array volume, mass, power consumption, and cost
areas. Antenna panel innovations through the combination of novel
architectures, highly functional components and highly integrated
fabrication techniques will have great payoff. Future UAVs will
require revolutionary technologies, smart skin/structure, miniature
avionics, shared apertures, fiber-optic data buses, wireless integration
technology, ultra reliable, ultra low power electronics, standard,
modular, multifunctional, integrated avionic architectures, data
compression, data fusion, data storage technology, all digital avionics,
and structurally integrated conformal arrays. To achieve these goals,
the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Sensors Directorate has
committed resources to the development of an advanced technology
base for materials, devices, circuits and component structures and
the assessment and verification of these sensors in demonstrator
subsystem brass boards. For questions regarding this opportunity
